Troubleshooting Guide
General Troubleshooting
Before performing any troubleshooting, check the following:
Ensure all external cables and connections are tight and undamaged.
• If possible, ensure the unit is plugged in to a receptacle with appropriate voltage available (see SECTION 8:
Specifications and Safety for voltage requirements). If no receptacle is available, use a known good, charged
battery to perform any tests.
• Visually inspect the unit for any obvious external damage, including cracks in the display, case, or connectors.
• Ensure all connector pins and sockets are clean, free of debris, and intact.
• Discuss the issues with the operator:
o Have the operator explain and demonstrate the problem.
o Ask about any previous repairs or problems.
o Has the unit been stressed (including extreme heat/cold, submersion, falls, etc.)?
